Challenge Brief

Remember this summer to slip, slop, slo-mo!

We want you to make a video showing how much you’re enjoying the holidays…the only catch is you have to shoot it in slow motion. Think about what might look good in slo-mo like cartwheels, waves crashing, dogs catching frisbees, water balloons splatting…check out the Get Inspired tab for ideas and inspiration.

Remember, your film should be no longer than one minute. The judges will be looking at the originality and creativity of your idea and your filmmaking craft. Adding music from our Sound Library will make your video more engaging.

As always, keep in mind that other than the piece of Sound Library music, all other elements of your film must be original and created by you, or be items that you have been given specific permission by the creator to use. Films containing third party assets, such as pictures from the internet or video created by someone else, will not be eligible for entry in this challenge, unless you obtained permission for them to be included in your film and for your film be uploaded to this challenge and be communicated by the ABC, as outlined in the Competition Terms and Conditions.
